Graphical issues (Ghosting?) on a new machine!

You're telling me that you can't, even with Photoshop, see the vertical grey line intersecting the 'e' on the left of that picture? I suggest you aren't using Photoshop correctly, or you aren't looking at the correct part of the original image. I'm using MS Paint btw.

No, I'm pretty sure there's nothing visible in the first few pictures.
I CAN see the grey lines in the photograph of the screen so I'd be suspicious of the monitor being used.
You may be pretty sure but I hate to tell you that you are wrong. Nothing visible to you perhaps but I, and more importantly the OP, can see it. Look at my previous post to this (#22) which clearly shows that there is a grey line where there should not be one.

Once again, thank you for all of your efforts.
The easiest thing to do would be to find another PC to test this monitor on, and another monitor to try on this PC, as suggested... I'll need to ring some friends tomorrow to see if anybody can come over and check with me. Right at this moment, however, this isn't possible.
In the mean time, following this investigation up is very useful, thank you!
ejr22: The image is I see is actually to the *right* of the "real" image. It sounds to me like you may have a similar issue to me, albeit going in the other direction
hyperst: Excellent idea and one I hadn't considered (You posting an example of your "OK" image). I get the *EXACT* same line issues with your picture as I do on mine. Can you confirm what this is telling me? That it is my monitor... or...?
Thank you all once more

.Ok, I do now see a very faint slightly more grey than the blue background line now.
But what the OP was meaning was in the OTHER direction.
I might also put that particular line down to the massive pile of image artifacts that converting to .jpg can do for a picture unless set to very high quality in a decent image editor.
agree with that because all that green stuff thats in my calculator image is not there on screen when in use, its only after capture that it becomes visible

It is currently set to "Let Window's select what is best for my computer"
Any idea where this is leading me...? Thank you.

Erm, I don't have any problems with ghosting (or any other graphical issues). I would have been the first to have started a thread like this if I did I can assure you.
Here is a cropped screen-shot from my desktop which shows no ghosting in or around the application window.
Post #22 still stands.
Best of luck trying to fix your problem.
I see that the OP has clarified where he thinks he sees ghosting.
I do not see anything amiss where he is describing.
Back to the drawing board.

I've not changed my story since the opening post, see: "All graphical issues are always to the right of the actual text/image." in the first post.
hyperst: Problem still persists in that image (Albeit, seemingly a little better) as does it on ejr22's image below that. Essentially there always appears to a little "ghosting" to the right of the "correct" graphic... It just seems, however, to appear a little more obvious on block colours/lines.

I purchased this new PC as my old one became faulty last week. It appeared the PSU had blew up and taken the motherboard (And possibly more) with it... Due to it being so old I decided I'd go for a new computer. Between the old PC breaking and the arrival of this new machine the monitor has seen no use. With this in mind it is entirely possible (Though I do not know the likelihood) that the monitor could have also become damaged when the computer did (I have no idea what happened to the computer and can only imagine a power surge or something; Not really for this thread anyway).
In terms of the Vista eye candy I turned all of it off and manually selected the Windows Classic theme etc in order to make the transition from XP to Vista as smooth as possible for my parents (Who also use this machine) as they had XP set to Classic, even then. Otherwise, I think Window's is selecting any other options by itself.
I'd imagine the graphics, albeit onboard, should be good enough to not induce this kind of blur/ghost however... I'm crossing my fingers on the monitor suggestions and hoping to try with a known perfectly working monitor as soon as possible.
Fair enough, my mistake, you did say to the right.
It doesn't change the fact however that there are grey lines to the left & above the application window in that first pic. Perhaps you think that it is normal, or you just can't see them, or somehow when you took a screen-print it reversed itself?
It is definitely there (and nothing anyone says will change my mind), with nothing to the right as you have described.
